I took oil painting lessons 3 years ago and ever since then I've been telling myself that I'm going to paint more. But I didn't. Until this past January, when I particpated in a 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge (and did it!). I've been dividing my creative time since then between painting and making jewelry.

I'm a little better about keeping up with my fans on Facebook, so if you're not a fan of You've Got Maille on Facebook, you definitely should be; I do regular giveaways for my FB fans.

But, I have been making tons of jewelry for my upcoming show at Ketner's Mill Country Fair, and I want to share it, and I also want to share more about the intuitive aspects of making jewelry, so there will be more here, I promise.

Also, I plan to do a series of articles on the healing and metaphysical properties of different stones and metals, so if you'd like to be in on that you can sign up for the mailing list on the front page of my website here (toward the bottom).

About Me

I make chainmaille and wire jewelry, and I also paint in oil and watercolor. Since 2005 I have lived in gorgeous, friendly rural Tennessee with my husband, son and an assortment of critters from horses to pet praying mantises. My interests include art, craft, animals, nature walks, organic gardening, playing games, and reading obsessively. Welcome to one of my many little homes on the web!
